Experts Available To Discuss Survey Showing Majority of People Satisfied With Their Physical Health

Posted on: Tuesday, 15 February 2005, 18:00 CST

TOPIC: A survey commissioned by the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Associations (IHRSA) shows 70 percent of participants felt satisfied with their level of physical health, according to an article by MSNBC.com. However, federal statistics show two-thirds of Americans do not engage in physical activity regularly and 25 percent do not get any exercise at all. Some experts fear that because obesity is so common, there may be a growing trend that people who are sedentary and overweight are not concerned with their physical inactivity.
